1982: Soccer player Landon Donovan, the all-time leader in scoring and assists for the United States national team, is born in Ontario, California. He is a four-time winner of the U.S. Soccer Athlete of the Year award, as well as the only three-time winner of the Honda Player of the Year award, having won it seven times.
